Omni Austin

This is a cool hotel despite the fact that it caters to business travelers. The hotel occupies one of two towers (the other is an office building) enclosed in a giant cube of steel and glass. The rest of the area in the cube is free space, crating an airy atrium illuminated by natural light filtering in through the glass. Rooms have either interior or exterior views. Standard rooms are comfortable, with bathrooms slightly larger than the norm. The one-bedroom suites come with a full kitchen and dining area. I especially like the Omni's rooftop pool, sun deck, and Jacuzzi (with terrific city views), which are a big part of the hotel's attraction. The hotel's Get Fit program gives you incentive to exercise, offering free fitness kits and healthy snacks; for $25, a treadmill will be brought to your room. The location is great, just off the Sixth Street entertainment district.
